I think American people cant accept Honda as a "high performance" car manufacturer. Ask a normal person who is looking for a reliable car and they'll say Honda. In no way will they say or think a Civic is sporty. In Japan, a Civic runs in many JTCC and N1 races. Over here, a Civic in on a NASCAR road course is a joke. A Civic to an average American is a "gas saving grocery getter that is very reliable" h:

That is why I think they needed the Acura division in the states to sell higher end Hondas. Cuz we "Americans" think Acura is a luxuary division. I think Acura spawned the divisions of Lexus, and Infinity. So they can sell their respective higher end automobiles. Before Acura, there was nothing but Toyota and Datsun, (now Nissan).

As far as bringing the sportier cars over go.... I think Honda will bring the big boys over. They always wait for others to do their thing, and Honda comes back with a bang. As for now, we can only dream.

ok, then how about Honda brings over the "Acura 'CTR'" -- id buy it.
